Leaving Costa Rica with adderall (medication)
Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance in the US and equivalent schedules in most other jurisdictions. Personal-use quantities (typically a 30-90 day supply) accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter are generally permitted for export under Ley 8204. Above these limits, a Ministry of Health (Costa Rica) authorisation is required in advance. Destination-country rules on Adderall import are more restrictive in many jurisdictions (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia).
Carry Adderall (Medication) in carry-on where applicable (medication / lithium battery / valuables). On arrival, walk the Red Channel and declare on the customs form. Dirección General de Aduanas computes duty + VAT at the published rate. Have the purchase receipt + (for medication) the original prescription available.
